Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 29, 2012
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The west leg carries the load — 164 eastbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 42. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 57 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 24% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (46). Trucks and buses were 9.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2012, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 46 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 57 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
2017 was the peak year (2 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 50% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Jul 23, 2025.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.
How fast traffic moves here
The City's counter on Kennedy Park Rd between Bloor St W and Kennedy - Margdon Parkette Trl (98 m away) recorded an average of 27 km/h in its 2-day count in November 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 35 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
